I don't think tours are typically announced like this, plus they already announced the dates they are playing in March and April. After that, they are probably going to try to finish the new album. The album is probably a long way off, and I don't think that they'd announce anything big about it this early.

Remember, the Facebook update on January 24th said "this is going to be a great chance for us to connect directly with you and for you to get to know us better." My guess is that it's a new contest or 'documentary' video series about them or something.

Yeah, Voltaire said that he and Chibi were working on a project, but I don't think TBM are going to be talking about that- that was him and Chibi, not him and the band. Voltaire said he'd say more soon, anyway.
